Phish’s proper reunion tour is starting to take shape according to Billboard, who has a new list of dates (the official Phish Website has not yet listed or confirmed these gigs). After Live Nation accidentally spilled the beans by revealing the famed jam band will play Burgettstown, Pennsylvania on June 18th, more dates have continued to stream out, including a tour-opening two-night stand at Wantagh, New York’s Jones Beach on June 4th and 5th. The band will then hit Great Woods Amphitheatre outside Boston — a venue which has hosted its share of great Phish shows — on June 6th and head back south for a concert in Camden, New Jersey on June 7th. (Check out all the dates after the jump.)
Those with keen eyes will notice a bit of a gap between the Asheville show on June 9th and the St. Louis show on June 16th. Is it any coincidence that this year’s Bonnaroo will take place June 11th through 14th, in the town of Manchester, Tennessee which is conveniently situated between Asheville and St. Louis? Despite sources telling Rock Daily Phish will appear at the fest, no official ‘Roo announcements have been made — the initial lineup will be revealed February 3rd — but it’s looking like a safe bet that Phish will be headlining two nights of the festival.
Of course, all this takes place after the band has its official reunion after a four year hiatus by staging a three-night affair at the Hampton Coliseum in Virginia on March 6-8th. In other Phish news, the band will release its marathon 1996 Clifford Ball concert from Plattsburgh, New York, will be released as a seven-DVD set on March 3rd through the band’s Dry Goods store.
